I'm the villain in the book

After all the doors and windows of the pawnshop were closed, he watched Xu Qingwan slowly stretch out three fingers: "Girl, if you want to be the knife, we can give you this number."

"Ten taels?"

Xu Qingwan was greatly surprised.

Ordinary weapons on the market generally sell for a few dollars, and even an "official weapon" forged from stainless steel like the lancet costs only a few taels.

And this bird's cry directly reached a hundred lancets, no wonder she was so shocked.

Xu Qingwan didn't understand what kind of treasured sword was worth this price, but before she could understand, she saw the old man shook his head with a complicated expression, and corrected softly:

"Girl, it's 3000 taels."

"Three, 3000 taels?"

Xu Qingwan's eyes widened suddenly: "This, this knife is worth 3000 taels?"

"It's not worth 3000 taels, it's worth 3000 taels."

The old man took a deep breath and looked at Que Ciao as if he was looking at a stunning beauty who had just taken a bath.

"A knife is worth a thousand dollars, and this knife is worth at least [-] taels of silver."

"Wan two..."

Hearing this new high price, Xu Qingwan seemed to have turned into a repeater, unable to say anything, but just kept repeating the word "ten thousand liang" in a daze.

The old man was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while to see Xu Qingwan's mood calm down a little, he asked:

"I wonder if the girl will be satisfied with this price?"

"If you want to sell it, it's even better. My Yutong Bank will be able to present the banknotes immediately."

"...I'm not right, and I won't sell it."

Xu Qingwan shook her head bitterly: "I just wanted to ask how much it was worth..."

"what?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed anger: "There is no such rule! If you want to take the knife back, you can take it back, 100 taels of silver..."

"Clang~"

Something suddenly fell on the counter, not silver, but a black token.

The old head blushed as if he was choking, and after a long while he forced a smile: "It turned out to be the Lord of the Xuanjing Division. It's offended when I was young, don't take it to heart..."

Soon, Xu Qingwan walked out of the pawnshop holding the bird crow.

Not only did she not have the happy look of making a lot of money, but she looked worried.

1 taels, so expensive...

I only have more than 1000 taels now, and I don’t know when I can save enough money to pay him back...

He looked down at the word "crown" on the scabbard, and clenched his hands tightly.

Xu Qingwan suddenly waved her small fist firmly, as if to cheer herself up.

Keep making money!I can!

……

Just when Xu Qingwan took the initiative to shoulder the "huge debt" of 1 taels of silver, Wei Changtian, as the "creditor", had already returned to the Wei Mansion, and was listening to Li Yang and Wang Er's work report.

The preparations for Chunshen Bookstore have been basically completed. Li Yang bought a yard with a facade and a warehouse. The front can be used as a bookstore and the back can be used as a printing factory.

The guys have been recruited, the printing equipment has been put in place, and Lu Jingyao has also given Li Yang "Journey to the West (Part [-])".

Everything is ready, tentatively scheduled to open on August 28.

"...That's about it. I also arranged the brothers of the Freemasonry properly. Mixed with normal guys, ordinary people will never see the clue."

Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Wei, I have an idea about selling books, and I want you to make up my mind."

"what idea?"

Wei Changtian nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Li, just say it directly, what's the courtesy."

"Okay, then I'll say it straight."

Li Yang scratched his head embarrassedly: "I want to sell "Journey to the West" together with the playing cards you invented, Brother Wei."

"Playing cards are new things that have never been seen before, and I think they will be very popular if they are promoted properly."

"Now that we have our own printing workshop, we can reduce the production cost of playing cards to a very low level. If we can sell it together with "Journey to the West", it will not only greatly increase sales, but also..."

Li Yang tentatively explained his "new idea", while Wei Changtian became more and more surprised.

Guys, isn't this just bundling?

Do you understand such a modern concept?

"Brother Li, I think it's feasible!"

Wei Changtian hurriedly affirmed: "Just let it go and do it, it will be a great success if there is no accident!"

"Really? Then, brother Wei, will you listen to my thoughts?"

Li Yang, who was affirmed, was very excited, and he simply said all the things he had figured out in the past few days.

In the following time, Wei Changtian heard the shadow of many modern marketing methods such as "hunger sales", "star endorsement", "brand packaging", and some of them were even very similar.

Damn, you didn't come across too, did you? !

"Brother Li, you are truly a business genius!"

Looking at Li Yang like an alien, Wei Changtian said with sincere admiration, "If you were born a few decades earlier and what happened to the Xu family, the position of the richest man in Daning is definitely yours!"

Li Yang was surprised and happy when he heard the words: "Brother Wei, I'm embarrassed for what you said."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, you don't have to ask me about the bookstore business in the future, just make up your own mind!"

Wei Changtian patted Li Yang on the shoulder, and then suddenly said abruptly: "Odd changes and even changes!"

???

Li Yang looked blank: "Brother Wei, what did you say?"

"Hahaha, nothing..."

Wei Changtian laughed twice, raising his teacup as if to drink tea.

However, at the moment when the rim of the cup touched the mouth, he again blurted out and shouted: "Hydrogen helium lithium beryllium boron!"

Li Yang: "..."

Wang Er: "..."

Chapter 56

Judging from Li Yang's reaction, he is not a transmigrator.

This is normal, after all, Li Yang has not had anything too "modern" before.

But in fact, Wei Changtian really wanted to hear the phrase "symbols look at the quadrants" just now.

If this is the case, he can be considered to have found a "similar" in such a world, and perhaps he will not be so lonely.

It's hard to fit into a new environment, but it's a lot easier with someone from the same place as you.

And that person is not guaranteed to be a scientist?Wouldn't it be possible to achieve a technological revolution that could not be completed by oneself?

Huh?Do you want to spread "odd change even unchanged" as the upper link of a couplet, and offer a big reward to those who can match the second couplet?

Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered a joke from his previous life.

It was talking about a group of four boys in the same dormitory who went to ancient times, and one of them became the emperor, so they recruited people from all over the world who could pass the four-year college entrance examination.

In this way, he quickly found two brothers, but there was no news of the last one.

A few years later, he thought that the last roommate should have died unfortunately, until one day after he and Xinna's concubine Yun Yu suddenly heard a word in his ear - three years of simulation.

"Hahahaha!"

Wei Changtian suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, while Li Yang and Wang Er had a ghostly expression.

"Wei, Brother Wei, are you alright..."

"Yeah, son, did the ape monster hurt his brain? I'll go to the imperial doctor..."

"You come back to me!"

Wei Changtian's face instantly turned black: "I'm fine!"

"But……"

"I just felt that I could have someone like Brother Li to help me. I'm so happy."

"..."

Li Yang and Wang Er looked at each other and reluctantly accepted the explanation.

After the episode, the secret conversation continued, and the three began to discuss Freemasonry.

Now the members of Freemasonry are mainly from prisoners awaiting trial in Dali Temple.

Li Yang provided the list, Wang Er conducted a preliminary interview and screened, and Wei Changtian determined the final list and then handed it over to Li Kan, so that these people could recover their freedom.

There are two main channels for the flow of personnel, one is the staff of the "Chunshen Bookstore", and the other is the officer in Liu Ye's office that we just talked about in the morning.

After all, it is a secret organization, and it is necessary to have a normal identity to cover it on weekdays.

After chatting for almost an hour, Li Yang and Wang Er went to work each, while Wei Changtian called up the system interface.

After Zhang Hongwen was beheaded, he got 150 points, plus the 50 points given by Yang Liushi, now he has 200 points.

Wei Changtian is not ready to spend, but plans to save and continue to buy Xiao Feng's same gold finger.

[Monster capture: special magical power, the owner can absorb part of the cultivation base of the monster corpse, the absorption ratio is determined by the owner's own realm, 300 points (plot-related props, 3% discount)]

It's still 100 points away, and it is estimated that it will rise a little more after Li Jian turns to Dali Siqing.

If that's not enough, then Lu Jingyao's "piggy bank" can only be taken down.

The speed of earning points is still too slow...

Wei Changtian scratched his head slightly in distress, but at this moment, a burst of warmth suddenly came from his waist.

He will always be carrying two mother and son jade cards on his body now.

One is from Liu Yesi, and the other is from Yang Liushi.

Since his injury is still not healed, Kong Changgui will definitely not assign himself a task.

So... Xiao Feng finally found Yang Liushi!

……

child time.

At this time, most of the people had already slept, but Pyeongchangfang was still brightly lit, and the sound of birdsong could be heard incessantly.

Because this is the largest gathering place of brothels in the whole capital.

No matter if you are a powerful court official or an unpaid scholar; no matter if you are a wealthy rich man or a poor warrior, this place can be your gentle hometown.

The spring night here does not require a thousand gold, not a hundred gold, the cheapest is only a few coins and a few pieces of silver.

Even if you have a skill such as writing poetry or being handsome, or just a skill, not only do you not spend money, but you may even earn some pocket money.

How not to make men yearn for such occasions.

Among them, what everyone yearns for most is probably the embroidery room on the top floor of the Fengqi Pavilion.

"Miss, someone quarreled with mom downstairs to see you again today."

"Really? What happened in the end?"

Yang Liushi was sitting at the table brushing her hair, but she didn't even turn her head back when she heard the words, as if she was used to this kind of thing.

"I was dumped by my mother to other girls."

The maid replied, and when she saw Yang Liushi was putting a hairpin in her hair, she asked with some doubts, "Miss, what are you going to do at night?"

"I'll try the new jewelry I bought, if it looks good... Now, what do you think?"
